According to its WHOIS record, AOWORLD.ORG was created on February 18, 2011 and expires on February 18, 2027. That is around 15 years of continuous registration. It is registered through ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48) and is active. The registrant country on record is United States. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Renewals are usually made for one to ten years at a time, so an expiry date far in the future shows a long-term commitment to the name. Nameservers decide where a domain's DNS is hosted, so a change of nameservers usually means the website or email moved to a new provider. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.

In the period from August 24, 2022 to November 3, 2026, 32 fields of the record were modified. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("eNom Inc." to "ENOM, INC."); it is the same registrar. Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from February 18, 2023 to February 18, 2027. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For AOWORLD.ORG, Whois Data Center keeps 9 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from November 3, 2026. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
